@bkruppa this is typical of peripheral nerve enteapment pain or peripheral nerve compression, imo. I have the same thing with my leg, i feel worse after using my leg too much and best if I rest. I'm going thru surgeries now to get entrapments fixed.
@bkruppa Do you think it might be what she is doing during the day that increases pain? Does she sit most of the day and is this when she has more pain? Is there less pain laying down when her legs are extended? What I think about is the psoas muscle. It attaches on the inside on the ilium or the "hip bones" and connects to the spine, and sitting shortens this muscle. Because it affects the pelvis and the alignment of the bones that form the pelvis, shortening might increase her pain. That would also shorten her strides when walking. I have to stretch when mine get shorter with lunges or even standing against a door frame and pressing a small ball inside the ilium to release the muscle. These could be questions to ask of her therapist. Perhaps keeping notes on what position she is in when pain increases would be helpful, and what positions are less painful.
It could be a matter of positioning. Also as an FYI there is a doctor in GA that specializes in guided ablation therapy but does it via freeze instead of burn with good results
